AP McCoy’s mount heads betting for his Celebration Chase

Mr Mole, to be ridden by AP McCoy in the race named in honour of the retiring champion, heads Coral’s betting for the AP McCoy Celebration Chase at 10-3. Former champion chaser Sprinter Sacre is the other joint market leader, ahead of Special Tiara at 7-2.

“It would of course be entirely fitting should AP win his ‘own’ race on Mr Mole, and if he does, the cheers will be heard not just at Sandown, but in betting shops and living rooms across the country, in honour of the punters’ biggest ally over the last two decades” reckoned Coral’s David Stevens.
